My mother died end of February after over six years at Acer Court. My mum got reasonable care in those years. However, I have been very disappointed with the complete lack of interest in my mum after her death from dementia. We got a hastily written condolence card in her Room two days after her death
as we collected her belongings. I informed them of her funeral arrangements and said if anyone wanted to write a few words to email them for inclusion in the funeral. This email was ignored and there has been zero interest from the home or any show of respect at her passing, despite telling them to stop sending me the weekly activities sheet I am currently still receiving them.

Reply from Noor Khan, Home Manager at Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Best Wishes, Noor Khan

Mum has been in hospital recently. Prior to being admitted the home kept me updated on her health and called me on her wellbeing when she was in hospital. They care deeply for her and also she missed them whilst she was in there. This shows the friendships and bonds that are formed.

Greeted by friendly, helpful staff. If any problems occur (eg falls) am contacted by the home regarding this. A varied choice of activities and entertainment is available if participating is desired. Meals are varied and served promptly. During lockdown, due to covid-19, testing was always readily available.
During the difficult times, overall a satisfactory home for residents to spend their time in.

Like many people (I expect) I was very nervous about finding a care home for my Mum. After careful research, Acer Court was on my shortlist. When I visited it immediately 'felt right'. Two and a half years later I know I made a good decision. I am very pleased with Acer Court. Are they perfect? No -
who is? But they are very good with all the important things and my Mum is safe and well cared for.

When mother was still living at home I got to see many other care homes when she was in respite care. This was one of those care homes, and it was by far the best.

First discovered Acer Court when organising respite care for my mother from 2010. Of the 5 or 6 other care homes we tried this is by far the best and when she was committed to long-term care, we were delighted there was accommodation available here. Been here 5 years now - no complaints.

Mum went into Acer Court for one week's respite care so we could have a few days' break. The first since her dementia diagnosis. Mum seems to have had a very positive experience and has only good things to say about the staff, the food, activities, etc. We would not hesitate to entrust her to Acer Court
again; in fact, are discussing it with Mum now (having just collected her)!

Reply from Ryan Farrelly, Marketing Assistant at Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you for taking the time to review Acer Court Care Home. We are delighted to hear how much your mother enjoyed her respite stay here, she is welcome back any time!

Throughout, my association with Acer Court Care Home has been very positive. The administration have gone out of their way to allow unusual allowances due to me living far from Nottingham and the care staff are looking after my mother efficiently, caringly and within the strict guidelines of the care
commission rules. At 101 years, my mother is being given a quality of life beyond that she would have had living in the community albeit at her cost.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.577)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.577) out of 10 for Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.577 for Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (308 Excellents x 5) + (79 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 421 Ratings = 4.577

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Michelle Waterhall

Job Title: Customer Service Advisor

Joined: 2016

I have worked at Acer Court since March 2016. I began as a housekeeper and then progressed to care as I enjoyed helping the residents and reassuring them where needed.


I moved on to become a Customer Service Advisor in June 2021. As I enjoyed meeting people and want to help people where I can. I find my job rewarding as often people aren't sure about moving their loved ones into a care home and I feel I am able to support and reassure them. I enjoy completing my show rounds with the families and answering any questions where I can. I feel when families are looking for a care home this can be an emotional time for them and they need compassion and someone to listen and support them on their journey to find their loved one in the right place.
